Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 It's not TCM, but I did listen to a home remedy show and they swear by Vics vapor rub once a day for two weeks. Said it clears it up lickety split. I have yet to try it though. Given the tenacity of toe nail fungus, it seems a long shot, but listening to people that it worked with gave me hope it might actually work. Good luck, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Dear dr.Ky Yu I used to have this problem and it ( an infection ) ate up my foot, my nail peeled. Before it happened I went to an internist, after that I visited the podiatrist and dermatologist. They gave me all kinds of medication, but nothing helped. Finally, I must treat myself, and I had treated some of my patients sucessfully. The treatment is simple , but effective. Clean the infection foot with warm water ( add little salt in warm water ). Salt will reduce the infection. Then use vitamin C " powder " applied on the infection.( crushed the pill 1000mg into powder . It may help to dry up the infection overnight. No need more than 5 times. Usually 2 - 3 times are enough. This completely healed my fungus infection for more than 5 years from now. I do not know what herbal formula is the best for this problem, but this is cheap and so effective. There is no need of herbal formula. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL !!!!!!!!!

Good luck, Chris Bluestone (Copper Sulphate) (2.5% solution as topical nail bath) may be useful. The Chinese name is Danfan. See data from Chinese Govmt Herbal Database at: http://tinyurl.com/yhpn8m It is excellent for athlete's Foot, in humans and interdigital dermatitis in dogs. However, I have not tried it in nail fungus. Best regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I did this. All it did was turn my toenail black. I think the problem with toenail fungus is that it's under the nail, so it's hard to get anything to penetrate to where the problem is. - Liz Casey - miracles28 Chinese Medicine Tuesday, October 24, 2006 2:17 PM Re: Toenail Fungus/Onychomycosis Not TCM, but tea tree oil neat is reputed to work well, of course would need to apply long term.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Oregano oil applied daily at night covered with band-aid not to soil the linens, takes a while, but works. I heard some people mix it with DMSO for better penetration. kil-young yu <kilyoungyu wrote: thank you everyone for your suggestions. i'll keep you all posted of what was most effective for my patient. ky miracles28 <jellyphish wrote: Not TCM, but tea tree oil neat is reputed to work well, of course would need to apply long term.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi Ky! soak feet, or just a toe! in h2O2 food grade (dilute of course), or I have heard recently AC vinegar. I would assume you dilute the ACV as well, but have not used this remedy yet, but have heard wonderful things about it.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 For waht its worth to the reader I have patients soak their affected toe/toes in plain Listerine for 2 - 3 times a day until the fungus clears. Seems to work for them. --- wrote: > Hi Ky! soak feet, or just a toe! in h2O2 food > grade (dilute of > course), or I have heard recently AC vinegar.
